The Ruler Of Night

Chap 28's. The real potential

I did everything Merlin instructed me to do, and he also asked me a lot of questions.

Then Merlin took out something shaped like a crystal ball.

"Merlin, if it's not wrong it's-" said Shira, who never finished her words.

"Yes, this is a magic ball," Merlin explained.

"The same thing was used when you first entered the academy"

"Of course you already know that this magic ball can know the capacity of Mana of a person, from the flow of energy in the body of the person who touched it" continued Merlin.

"Then, what are you gonna do with it?" ask Shira.

"Yuuta, put your hands here" said Merlin asking me to hold the magic ball.

"Alright," I said as I approached Merlin and placed both my hands on the magic ball.

Nothing happened when I held the magic ball, the same result as the first time I held it.

"Why didn't anything happen?" ask Shira.

"That's because he doesn't have any magic energy in his body at all" Merlin explained.

At once I was pensive and slightly lowered my head, because it seemed to remind me that I was weak.

"And also he has used up all the natural energy that he absorbed," continued Merlin.

"Yuuta, take this magic ball out of your hand" Merlin said.

I lowered my hand from the top of the magic ball.

"Now try to reabsorb the natural energy that is around here," he continued to give directions.

"Eh? all right, maybe it'll be a while," I said.

"It's okay, I'll wait" said Merlin smiling.

"But we're on the roof, right? why doesn't it feel hot here? though the sunlight is directly on us," I asked to feel very surprised.

"That's because of the barrier I created to slightly prevent excessive incoming sunlight" Merlin explained.

"Excellent," I was amazed.

"All right, I'll start it," I continued.

Then I took a comfortable position to do high concentration, sitting cross-legged in the middle of a fairly cool breeze.

"Merlin, what do you really want to do?" ask Shira.

"I will show him the difference between magic energy and natural energy, I will also slightly hone his ability in controlling that power" Merlin replied.

"That power is indeed very powerful, I myself have seen it when Yuuta threw Kirei's body with just one strike" Shira said.

"What you saw at the time of yesterday's game was only a small part of the power of natural energy, the real potential is much stronger than that" said Merlin.

"Well, Merlin you know a lot huh? have you lived for hundreds of years?" shira said with her silly question.

Hearing that question made Merlin slightly offended.

"Basic is disrespectful" said Merlin, throwing his face away.

"Ahaha, sorry Merlin I was just joking" Shira said as she stroked her head.

"Humu~," said Merlin who then returned to smiling.

"uh?!" muttered Shira who was astonished by Merlin's attitude.

*****

Things that everyone did not know, even he himself never told it to the king.

But the previous kings had the same thought about it, if Merlin was actually a witch who had immortality.

In every book he wrote about the kingdom of Luxion, there was always an unnamed witch.

Starting from the first king of the kingdom of Luxion is the noble king Edward, who rumors that he is the figure of the king of the entire human race at the time of the great war occurred 500 years ago.

The only human who reached the kingdom of the heavens and was recognized by the four Arch Angels, and was also respected by leaders of various races.

With the power of Holly so extraordinary, and so many sacred weapons that he has.

Accompanied by her confidants she leads an entire army of humans as well as Elves, a very powerful magician with her ability to control space and time magic.

I opened my eyes and stared at Merlin and Shira as well, indicating that I had enough natural energy.

"Are you done?" ask Merlin.

"Yes, I think this is enough" I replied.

"Then come here and put your hands back on this magic ball" Merlin said.

"Alright," said I who then rose from the place and approached them.

Merlin thrust the magic ball back in the morning at me, and I placed my palms on it again.

"Now try to get that energy into this magic ball" said Merlin.

"Ehhh!" answer me by nodding.

I began to focus the energy in both of my hands, and flowed it into the magic ball.

And sure enough, suddenly the magic ball reacted by emitting a slowly blinding white light.

"Do you feel the vibration?" ask Merlin.

"Yes, is that bad?" askaku.

"No, it's the effect of the energy that you're channeling powerfully," Merlin explained.

"But I did it slowly" I argued.

"Yes, but that's how natural energy, pressure and flow are much stronger than ordinary magic energy," Merlin explained.

Then I stopped flowing that energy, and lowered my hands back from the magic ball.

"Now we know and prove that the power you use is natural energy!" clearly Merlin with a wide smile.

"So, can I take the survival test later?" my many.

"Yes, of course," replied Merlin.

"Yahyaah!!!" I screamed I felt so happy.

"You did Yuuta!" shira said, who was happy.

"Ahaha"

"Haha"

Me and Shira laughed happily together, celebrating my success over the test.

"But there's one thing I want to ask you" said Merlin.

"Huh? what'sthat?" my many.

"What elements can you use from that natural energy?" ask Merlin.

"the element? I don't have it" I replied who didn't know what Merlin meant.

"The elementary magic element, just like you did earlier at the time of destroying the barrier by using the wind magic element," said Merlin.

"Actually I don't know about it at all, I just concentrate that energy on my right fist, then I release it with all my might" I explained.

"So you still don't know? all right, I'll teach you a little lesson" said Merlin.

"really? whoa! I'm so glad to hear it!" my word.

"As I said, natural energy is neutral energy, and you can turn that energy into any magic element you want" Merlin explained.

"Fire, water, wind, and earth, those are the four basic elements of magic power in this world"

"But unlike the natural energy, he doesn't have only four elements"

"But he has five basic elements, namely Fire, water, wind, earth and lightning" he continued.

"Well, I don't know about that at all" I said.

"Yuuta, if you really have mastered natural energy completely, then you will be able to master the five elements at will"

"And not only that, you can even combine some of those elements and create a new element"

"Like Ice, Lava, Wood, and so on" explained Merlin.
